20 Great Miami Swim Looks to Take From Runway to Poolside

Today marks the last day of Miami Swim 2012, and what a week it's been. While many of the beauty looks featured on the Florida runways are meant just for show, there's still plenty of hair, makeup, and nail polish inspiration to be had. See 20 different ways you can make your poolside (or beachside) lounging all the more stylish.

To complement the vivid colors featured in the swimwear collection, models at Dolores Cortés wore brightly hued eye makeup in colors such as orange and purple. Water it down for pool time by applying the bold shades just to the lids.

For a bronzed glow as seen at Cia.Maritima, create dimension by using a deeper, shimmery bronze shadow on the outer half of the eyes. Add a glistening light gold shade on the inner halves to bring it all together.

Thanks to its light-reflecting and go-with-anything qualities, a metallic polish provides the perfect complement to your bikini collection. A barely there silver, like this one seen at Lisa Blue, has plenty of impact, but without the blinding side effects. Try Sally Hansen Silver Lining ($4).

A brightly hued hat, like this one seen on the runway at Luxe by Lisa Vogel, looks even more gorgeous when accompanied by a muted lip tone. Make Up For Ever's James Vincent used the brand's Lab Shine #S6, a soft peach gloss.

For an even more unique way to wear double braids, look to Shay Todd for inspiration. After parting your hair down the middle, braid each side, weaving white ribbon throughout. Then, loop each braid under and secure at the nape.

For "tanned" skin without the burn, use a palette of pink, copper, and bronze tones. At the Diesel show, James Vincent from Make Up For Ever used the brand's Sculpting Kit #1 and Mat Bronze, along with Uplight #31, a sparkling pink, and #33, a golden copper, to add dimension and warm up the face.

It may be all about the bronze when it comes to pool and beach looks, but models at Lisa Blue proved silver can add an alluring element. For even more fun, you can bedazzle yourself with stick-on rhinestones.
